Prince William and Princess Kate's Canada Itinerary Revealed! Where Are They Headed First?

Prince William and Princess Kate are set to visit remote rainforests, the city of Vancouver and the sub-Arctic Yukon when they head to Canada next month.

The royal couple is set to arrive in British Columbia for their first set of duties in Victoria on September 24, their office at Kensington Palace announced Monday.

Their eight-day tour ends in the same city on October 1.

Amid the formal occasions that always accompany a royal tour, the wildlife-loving couple will enjoy the Great Bear Rainforest, which was recently announced as protected by the local British Columbia government.

And, further north in Yukon, they will visit Carcross – which was originally a hunting camp and received the name because caribou herds would cross the narrow land between two lakes.

If – as expected – Prince George and Princess Charlotte make the journey too (they are yet to be confirmed by the palace), the tour is likely to be structured a little like it was in New Zealand and Australia, when George stayed at a home base while the couple traveled back and forth for their various visits Down Under.

The full itinerary is as follows:

September 24: Victoria, British Columbia September 25: Vancouver, British Columbia September 26: Bella Bella and Great Bear Rainforest, British ColumbiaSeptember 27: Kelowna, British Columbia and Whitehorse, YukonSeptember 28: Whitehorse and Carcross, YukonSeptember 29: Victoria, British ColumbiaSeptember 30: Haida Gwaii, British ColumbiaOctober 1: Victoria, British Columbia
